Next Winter's Fuel
Wood Should Be
Cut Right Now
RALEIGH, Jan. 14. Transpor
tation is going to be one of the
bottlenecks of the war program of
the United Nations. R. W. Grae
ber, Extension forester of N. C.
State College, says farmers can
help to solve this problem by cut
ting their next winter's fuel wood
right now.
''You will be saving wood and
work by cutting your fuel supply
now," Graeber declared. "Tests
reveal that green wood has from
10 to 35 percent less heating value
than wood curecl nine months to a
year. Even wood seasoned under
favorable conditions for only six
months has an advantage over
wood freshly cut."
The forester said that the tie-up
of railroads and other forms of
transportation in hauling war ma
terials may mean difficulties in
obtaining coal and other types of
fuel. Therefore, he said, the local
market for fuel wood should ex
perience a "boom."
In- general, a cord of hickory,
oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash,
elm, locust, longleaf pine, or cher
ry is equal in heat value to a ton
of coal. Species such as shortleaf
pine, western hemlock, red gum,
sycamore, and soft maple require
about one and a half cords to
equal a ton of coal in fuel value.
Two cords of cedar, poplar, cy
press, basswood, spruce and white
pine are required to equal a ton of
coal.
Graeber said that farmers can

feet on retail prices, because re
tailers now are selling sugar ac
quired at lower prices. When
present stocks are exhausted, how
ever, retailers will have to pay
higher wholesale prices to replen
ish their supplies.
The President gave the signal
and America's war production ma
chinery, already rolling, switched
into high gear. Today we are mov
ing at constantly quickening speed
along the only sure highway to
victory the hard and rocky road
of self sacrifice.
There's not a one of the whole
130,000,000 of us, probably
man, woman or child who won't
have carried some part of the bur
den of this war before it is over,
before the Japanese are slapped
back onto their own islands and
disarmed, before Hitler and his
stooge Mussolini and their follow
ers willing and unwilling have
been made harmless. Expressed in
terms of cold cash, the huge 1942
program for tanks and guns and
planes and ships will cost more
than $400 for every citizen of
these United States.
So far the crisis in materials
needed for this vast production
program has been reflected chiefly
in the nation's auto salesrooms
and auto supnlv stores, So far it's
been primarily a matter of cars
and tires.
But already other changes are
in their way. changes which will
be reflected in the products dis
played on the shelves of trades
men in thousands of towns and
villages when present stocks are
exhausted.
Take clothes, for one thing.
Clothes are going to change. They
are going to look different, and
they are going to be different,
too. That's because we are cut off
from sources of wool in Australia
and New Zealand, and because so
much wool is needed for military
uniforms. There's from 40 to 50
per cent less wool available for
civilian use this year and it's go
ing to mean that overcoats prob
ably will be made out of a mixture
of virgin wool and re-used wool,
and that coats will be shorter and
trousers skimpier, and an end, for
the duration, of the "two-pants
suit."
The vital need for more and
more alcohol to make explosives is
going to change the formula of
lots of things on your drugstore
shelves. Not things you need when
you're ill, but things like tooth-

has ruled that no more alcohol
may be used in the manufacture
of such products after April 1.
To date, despite tremendous
lend-lease shipments to Britain,
there hasn't been any real short
age in any foodstuff. Nearest ap
proach to a shortage is in sugar,
because much sugar is made from
cane, and sugar cane molasse.? has
been largely used to make alcohol.
The OPM has ordered distillers
equipment to make alcohol from
corn and grain to use these ma
terials exclusively.
At the same time the Office of
Price Administration ordered an
upward adjustment in the price
ceiling above refined and other
"direct consumption" sugars, a
maximum price adavnee of 20
cents a 100 pounds. This isn't ex
pected to have any immediate ef-
The OPM suggests a variety
of ways in which dairy operators
and milk distributors may over
come shortages. Dairymen cant
buy new trucks for home deliver
ies, but they are urged to repair
old equipment, just as the farmer
has been urged to have
farm machinery repaired. OPM
suggests that deliveries be made
every other day and that duplica
tion in milk pickup routes be
avoided in order to conserve rub
ber and machinery and, incidental
ly, gasoline. Containers are going
t h a nroblem. OPM suggests
campaigns to salvage used bottles,
a reduction in the variety of con
tainer sizes offered the consumer.
The sweeping drive to conserve
metals for war production contin

for bullets latest on the list l ead
ed by copper and steel, tin and
aluminum. Just as iron and steel
priorities meant far fewer refrig
erators and no pleasure autos at
all ; just as tin priorities are work
ing changes in everything from
cans to many articles customarily
found at the fiive and dime stores;
so with restrictions on the use of
lead for civilian purposes.
The lead order, effective April
1, will even be felt in the under
taking business no more lead
may be used in caskets or in casket
hardware. No more lead, either,
for automobile body solder, for
ballast or keels of pleasure boats,
for foil o rornamental glass or
regalia or badges or embblems.
Nor for statuary and art goods,
toys, tennis court markers. Lead
may not be used in bats (as
weights), or in clocks, decoys,
dresses, golf clubs and jockey saddles.

All plant life depends upon potash because it is
one oi the necessary plant foods. Prior to 1914 scarcely
ony potash was produced in this country. When Euro
pean supplies were cut off during the last war, the price
of potash increased from $35 to as high as $500 per
ton, and in most cases no potash at any price was
available. Born in that emergency, an American potash
industry has been developed, with average prices now
much below those of 1914, to a point which will assure
supplies of this necessary plant food in the United
States, its possessions, Canada, and Cuba. Thus does
this relatively new industry take a front-line position
in American defense.
